    Saleem Chapman, Chief Resilience Officer joins U.S. Sen Bob Casey and other local, state, and federal dignitaries on a roundtable discussion regarding the senator’s “REVIVE the CCC” Act, which would revive the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps.

    The roundtable will discuss what a revived Civilian Conservation Corps could mean for Philadelphia, as well as Pennsylvania and our nation as a whole. Senator Casey will also discuss how his legislation will advance our nation’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis while creating well-paying, quality conservation jobs that protect and restore the health and resiliency of our local communities.
